including newly recruited chef Khoo Seng Keong who specialises in Chinese dishes, were also present.

Lee added that among the recent efforts to promote Sarawak digitally was a collaboration with the Ministry of Culture China and CCTV-4 (China Central Television channels) a 24-hour Chinese international channel.

He said Sarawak was now known better to the people in China and other world community following the recent documentaries produced by CCTV, during their two-week filming of Sarawak from

Kuching to Mulu in Miri, which was shown in China and worldwide.

Lee said the state could expect exponential exposure once the ‘Blue Tears’ movie, produced jointly with the Chinese authorities, was shown and also the entertainment programme with eight famous Chinese singers today (Jan 21) in Kuching.

He said each one of the eight famous Chinese singers had 2-3 million followers which would make ripple effects in promoting Sarawak.
